Activity description
Attention outdoor enthusiasts, adventurers, and anglers! Don't miss this guided, 3-hour ice fishing excursion in Finnish Lapland from Sirkka. All levels of experience are welcome!
Situated in Finnish Lapland, Levi is known for its stunning Arctic wilderness as well as its diverse wildlife species. In addition, its pristine waters are home to various kinds of fish including perch, pike, salmon, whitefish, Arctic char, etc., which makes it an ideal destination for fishing in both the summer and winter months. Ice fishing is a popular winter activity for both locals and travellers alike!
Your adventure begins in Sirkka, where you'll be picked up by your experienced guide and shuttled outside of Levi to a tranquil fishing spot on a lake or river. You and your group will put on your thermal gear and head out into the winter wonderland of Lapland. Due to the season's sub-zero temperatures, the ice is quite thick on lakes and rivers, making it more than safe to stand on.
Your expert guide will introduce you and your group (a maximum of 8 participants) to ice fishing techniques, including hole drilling. You'll have a blast drilling your own fishing hole and placing your hook into the icy waters. Although a catch is never guaranteed, "good things come to those that wait" and patience is always a key element of ice fishing. If luck is on your side, you can cook your fish over a roaring campfire while also enjoying snacks, beverages, and Lappish fishing stories.
